    It was a ton of work. But if you have a few guys to remove and reinstall the bed, forget about boxing the frame, and are aware of the pitfalls we saw for the measurements ... I bet 1/3 of that install time could have been shaved down.

    I would agree with that. Just as in most things the first time deffinately takes longer. I had quite a bit of time just in cutting and fitting the frame plates. God bless Bill for jumping in and getting a huge jump on welding them in. Skip lefte with a good size piece of 1/4” and I have templates for a dcsb I may cut another set some time. Can’t wait to see what you come up with for a video

    There's a guy down here that wants one done. I'll be working on that one whenever he gets off his bum and buys the stuff (@SearArtist ).

    You should do one now that the truck is paid off :devil:. Only reason I have no regrats is my truck is 14 yrs old I bought used and paid cash.
    My spring selection led to some of the issue as well. But what's the fun in doing what everyone else does. I totally agree with that assessment. I was racking my brain and just not thinking in the right direction and just needed another set of eyes and ideas then it finally clicked and we got over that hurdle and it began to move again.

    It was a long and fun weekend. There wasn't a single person here Saturday that didn't contribute. I would gladly work with any of these guys again. It was a lot of work but worth every minute. The neighbor even came over and visited for a bit. They even let me weld a little

    "DAT ASS!"

    So when Skipper came up last weekend he brought my rear bumper I ordered a while ago. I ordered it powder coated black so I knew everything was covered really well. A lot of thought went into this and plenty of discussion back and forth between myself and @Wild Crow as we have primarily the same usage of our trucks. I knew I wanted a rear for better clearance and to be able to get my spare out of the bed because the bed space is so limitted in a short bed. when I saw @TaKoToy dual swing outs I knew we had a winner. I need something to where I can open the rear and get stuff out without having to hook up the camper especially when in the woods. I also need to be able to see at night when loading or unloading the 4 wlr in the dark so I got the flush mount LED cout outs and asked for an extra light tab up high on the driver's side swingout. Eddy deliverecd in spades exactly what I ordered!

    So here it came PC'd black:




    Monday I scuffed just the outside of the bumper with 80grt sand paper then taped everything else off so it stayed black and not to interfere with any of the clearances on the mounting surfaces. Then I took it outside and sprayed the first coat of bedliner. Of course then it started to sprikle so I had to take it back inside:




    I took it out the next morning and did the final coat of bedliner then it took the rest of the week to cure enough to handle it with all the cool weather and I put it on thick.




    Install was pretty straight forward I just broke it up and completed the bumper itself before moving on to the swing outs:









    With the bumper all done last night today I moved on with the swingouts. This wasn't difficult I just took my time as I had to modify my CB antena bracket and wire up the upper light. The light is just a cheap Amazon light I had had on the rear already I just cleaned it up and painted it and it'll be fine until I can get a better one. Special thanks to @PyritePirateBill for giving me the flushmounts in the bumper they work perfect! I'm tickled with the whole thing it worked out perfect. The swinguts are tight Eddy's (@SOS CONCEPTS ) latching assembly is flawless.















    The only thing I have left to do is relocate the backup camera thankfully he provided a tab on the swingout to mount it to and then hook up the camper and see how everything works!
